Introduction

Network Monitoring:-

• Network monitoring is spying for a good cause.

• The administrator keeps watch on the peers through a dedicated

system called server.

• The administrator has special privileges through which he can

terminate any process of any client computer.

What is Network Monitoring System?

• A Network Monitoring System is a software that prevents unauthorized

access or work done by a client system connected to the network.

• The server accepts connection from the clients connected to it.

• It constantly monitors its peers and prevents the users from unauthorized

browsing, downloading and illicit access.

Why is it required?

• This software is required to prevent unauthorized access of files

and data on a company or organizations’ LAN

• Also it can be used to prevent access of unwanted sites on the

internet.

• It can also be used to secure company’s data.

Requirements

Software requirements:

• Windows 2000 and above operating system

• VB .net as the front end and Visual Basic as the back end

• Microsoft Visual studio 2008

Database Server configuration:

• Microsoft SQL Server 2005

Requirements (contd)

Hardware requirements:

• Pentium III onwards computer processor

• 2.0 GHz processor

• 10 GB or higher hard disk

• 256 MB or above RAM

• 32 bit interface card

Project development

• VB.Net is used to develop this project.

•There are two parts – Server and Client

•The server is the administrator who monitors all the clients in the network.

•The administrator has a unique id and password through which he logs on.

• A client also has a username-password to connect to the network.

• Facility is also provided to register new users.

•The administrator can see all the client information.

• Mysql database is used to maintain the record of client and server database.

•The server is password protected and prevents unauthorized access.

Server side

• The server is a system that manages the resource used by the client connected to the network.

• The clients log on to the system using the password from the server.

• The server can constantly monitor the client systems connected to it.

• If the administrator find out any unauthorized access, he can terminate the process from his system.

• All the client details are stored in the database that can be only accessed by the administrator.

Client side

• All the clients are connected to the server through LAN.

• The clients have to take the password from the server to connect to the network.

• If the peer system tries to run a process which is not allowed by the server, it can be terminated by the server

• Facility is also provided for the new users to register with the administrator.

Conclusion

• The software can be used on a LAN as well as WAN.

• It can be also applied on a small network such as our college.

Future Enhancements

• It can be modified to be used on a wide network.

• Security can be enhanced by creating a stronger database.

• The privileges given to the administrator can be reduced.
